Memoirs of a Kitchen Lady -Brain Food

One of the kindergarteners has been giving us quite an "Attitude" lately, I know both of my kids got what I called the Kindergarten attitude when they were that age, but this little one takes the cake.

Today in the lunch line he took he said he didn't want any lunch so he just took the minimum two items.

Later on I was sitting in the cafeteria and he came up to me.

"I need food for my brain"

Troy- (Trying not to laugh) But you didn't want any lunch

With this he took my hand and put it on his head.

"Feel that, See my brain needs food"

who can argue with that.

Perfect Pair

My hubby Steve and I are a perfect pair...

Steve in the bedroom watching TV

Troy in the living room watching TV

Troy- "Hey Steve what are you watching?"

Steve- " I am going back and forth between the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the O'Reily Factor, What are you watching?"

Troy- " I am going back and forth between Deliver Me and American Idol"

Thank you Lord for multiple TV's

Ten On Tuesday - Winter

I Love Winter, We get some, I could do with more. But then I am a total weather wimp and if we had more I would be crying the blues.

1. Rain- I love it! The sound of it pounding outside makes me feel so safe.

2. Blankies- I am a lover of blankies of the plush microfleece variety. DON'T TOUCH MY BLANKIE!!!

3. Long Sleeved Jammies- My faves are my fleece bunny jammies with my thermal tee. Ahhhhh

4. Heater- Don't like turning it on for long but knowing you can if you need to is wonderful.

5. Hot Cocoa with Marshmallows- I love trying different varieties and love Starbucks. You know my friend Kathy went to Paris just for a $15.00 cup of Cocoa?

6. Snow on the mountains- first the tips of the hills are covered but on days like today the snow is so bright the hills are solid white and the way the pure whiteness reflects makes you truly understand it when you read the God will make you white as snow.

7. Snow on the mountains when it goes all the way down to my neck of the woods. Makes me feel like I am in Colorado and not in Cali. Rocky Mountain High... California

8. Hail- Heard a funny line in a movie "Hail, what a pathetic form of precipitation" Made me giggle

9. Mary Jane Slipper Socks- I am a lover of the slipper sock but I could have a closet of slippers. LOVE EM!!!

10. Double Rainbows- I saw one was many years ago with baby Eric in the car and again yesterday with almost grown up Eric in the car. Rainbows are Gods miracles.

Memoirs of a Kitchen Lady- Conversations

It is amazing how much conversation goes on in the lunch line in the 30 seconds or so that they are in front of me...

Breakfast Day 1- "Hey Troy, Do you think $60 is too much to spend on a Lizard?"
Troy- "I don't know, what kind of lizard?"

Lunch- "Its a bearded dragon"
Next day breakfast
"Did I tell you it comes with the Aquarium and the heat lamp"
Lunch-"I am buying it with my own money"
Troy " Well, if it comes with all the stuff then that doesn't sound too bad"

Next Day Breakfast "Guess What Troy? I got TWO Lizards"
Troy " Cool" Thinking... Glad its you...

Today
Breakfast "Troy, where is your mommy?"
Troy- In heaven
"Why?"
Troy- Because she was sick and died

Lunch- "Troy, where is your Dad?"
Troy- In heaven too
"Why?"
Troy- He was sick and died too
Troy- (turning the downer around) BUT I have a doggie and three kitties and my doggies name is Yogi"
"Ohhhh (Excited) That's a funny name"

Who knows what tomorrow brings...

Competitive Me?

Last night for Valentine's we did the sweetheart special at our local Bowling Alley and had an amazing time.

How great is this. Two hours of bowling with your main squeeze, a pitcher of soda, appetizer, heart shaped pizza and candles. It was the best $30 date we have ever had.

PLUS!!! I had my best bowling game ever, made me re-think of myself as a gutter girl, maybe my years of lifting as a kitchen lady have made me stronger.

Our Church has a bowling league that Steve has participated in for the past few years, because I remembered my last bowling session 15 or so years ago as a nothing but gutter session, I have reserved myself the role of Steve's A1 Cheerleader.

Last nights date and my actually breaking the triple digit mark gave me confidence to do the unthinkable... Substitute in our church bowling league.

So... I put myself on the list and today was my first bowling day...

YIKES!!! Well, how did it go you ask?

No triple digits, and yes a few gutters, but all in all I had fun, I had a terrific time of fellowship with a church brother.

Breaking your high bowling score... didn't happen

Fellowship and having fun bowling... Priceless

Hmmm wonder if I could find a Barbie Princess bowling ball and pink bowling shoes... I know that would improve my score...

All I Want For Valentine's Day Is...

A Caramel Apple...

My Stevie, Easy to feed, Hard to Understand...

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Bowling, Candles, Heart Shaped Pizza

Who has more fun than us!!!

Teacher Memoirs of a Kitchen Lady

"Teacher"
"Teacher"

Seriously, I counted him saying "Teacher" 15 times before I went out there to see what was going on.

He just wanted her to see he was sitting quietly...
